Yep, there's an archive for this list and the other surname mailing lists supported by Rootsweb. You can find the archive at http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl On the first screen, enter the name of the list (either howery or howery-l should work). On the second screen, enter the words to search for. I think that asking new members to send a message to the list with an outline of their Hauri (etc.) descent is a great idea. Justin C.S.

Normally I avoid sending this type of answer by a mail list, but I want to liven it up a bit, and also make my presence known to others, and promise to contribute (as time goes by) some HAURY, HAURI, HOWERY, & Other HAURY info' to the common group data. I have notified my HAURY family members and other HAURY e-mail users of the list, and hope that they join. Any who may join should Log On (post a message) to let other list members know that they are new members. ?Does the List have an Archive that I may visit to review & obtain past postings? Shirley, I received your other messages & will respond to them as appropriate with separate messages or comments. I expect part of our e-mail can be exchanged via the list, since much of it relates to HAURY info' which could interest other list members. Hi Bonnie, & Hi Amelia, I have some HOWERY info' that I will post to the list in days to come that may be of interest. It may take me some time to dig it out & prepare for submission. I only have e-mail at present, and am not on the internet, so I can't visit WEBSITES or receive e-mail attachments.
